What are you doing today?

UPDATE: Of course the scheduled appointment wasn't met. What was originally meant to occur at 11 is now scheduled for around 3ish, give or take. I expect it to happen more around 5, though I wouldn't be too surprised if it ends up being pushed to tomorrow.

So I came home to get something to eat.

Not surprised in the slightest. Hope it goes ahead and goes well. Sometimes the waiting is worse than the actual procedure.

drove six hours with my son to spend the night with my parents and pick stuff up that didn’t fit in the car when we visited last month.

six hours back home tomorrow. but totally worth it for a road trip with the boy and a bit more time with the 80 somethings.

It was scheduled at 11AM, rescheduled to 3, and actually started around 7. He’s in now, getting his neck cut.

And he’s out! Everything went well. They have to do a few neurological tests, then we can go back to see him in the CVICU.

If everything goes well from that point on, this will be over with by tomorrow.

Terrific news; I'm sure that this is a massive relief for you all, and I hope that everything continues to work out well.

Hope everything keeps going as well as it has so far for your father @Renzatic.

Spending the evening documenting a CC dispute, as it looks like I fell for one of those scam e-commerce sites that never intend to send you anything. This one is involved enough that they seem to be scraping FedEx tracking numbers to give to “customers” that complain. At this point it isn’t even about the 30$, it’s more the principle of the thing. But I don’t want details vanishing as they accidentally gave me enough information that I can tell I’m not the only mark.

At least this morning we went to see Avatar: Way of Water. So something halfway decent happened today.

Terrific news. Got there in the end.

Stock taking at work today. It was a bloody disaster as the place was in a state. Didn’t even get it finished so for the first time in 15 years it will go into day two.

It's now really over, since everyone is now in their appropriate homes.

I'm suddenly feeling really damn tired.

I can well imagine; such stuff is very stressful, and is really rather exhausting.

Docked iin Vicksburg earlier this morning. It’s raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock, and I’ve developed a cold.

On the bright side, they served a chickpea meatloaf for dinner last night that was divine. Our dining companions were sure I had ordered actual meatloaf.

My husband bought my daughter and me seats at a candle pouring workshop so we are doing that this afternoon, and this evening we've invited friends over for drinks, s'mores, and a fire.

That sounds lovely!

The weather should be perfect for that.

Wife & I took a walk last night for the first time in a while. It was remarkably balmy.

Welp, the Tesla service center has still done absolutely nothing on my car. It hasn’t moved from where the tow truck left it. Each day, when I ask, the service advisor says he’ll check with the technicians and get back to me.

I‘ve taken a lot of cars in for dealer service over the years - Plymouth, pontiac, eagle, Porsche, bmw, …. This is the saddest customer service I’ve seen. I assume they don’t care about me because the car is so old, but you’d think they’d realize that means I’m probably going to be buying a new car soon and I might take customer service into account. The issue isn’t even that they are taking so long - it’s that they won’t even give me a rough estimate of when they may actually diagnose the problem, let alone fix it.

Anyway, today I will probably swing by there in person and see if I can prod them along.

Today I'm noodling out an emergency power system to handle power outages (rotating or natural).

This would handle the electrical needs of our gas-fed tankless water heater and the blower in our furnace should the power go out. And for charging phones, laptops, etc.

I'm thinking of a couple of LiFePO4 batteries, AC inverter, and charger, all fitting in a rolling tool box. Already have the rolling toolbox; next is mocking up the batteries, inverter, charger for potential fitment.

Candle pouring was fun! But we had to postpone our fire plans since one of the households invited came down with covid. Will reschedule that.

After a long day in the warehouse I spent the evening going through the data from the stock take. I usually refuse to work on a Friday night. But my headspace was there anyway, so thought I might as well finish it off.
At least it’s a three day weekend!

Trying to figure out why we have over 350 guests on the site right now, which one of y'all posted a link somewhere?
